How are you Nige. Been a while since we had an update.

Hope all is well and i'll have a beer for you at Cardiff tomorrow.

All the best. STU

My mum bumped into him in town yesterday ... are you supposed to be walking around town yet Nige, and I hope you weren't popping into any of the local drinking establishments

Anyway, mum said he looked OK but she didn't recognise him at first ... think he was wearing a very quiet shirt

I have just received a phone call from Nige's sister, Linda, to tell me that Nige is not very well at all. He has a problem with a ruptured aortic valve and has been unconscious since Saturday. The doctors are discussing what to do with him as I type this. Nige needs another operation and they are deciding whether to move him back to Bristol or to take him to North Staffs Hospital in Stoke. Linda is going to call me back later and let me know the decision.

All of Nige's family are at the hospital and his sister says it's not very good, he's very very poorly. No visitors are allowed at present. I don't know if you can even ring to ask about him as it's normally only family at times like this but as soon I hear more from Linda then I'll post up more.

Forgot to say that Nige is in the Stafford District General Hospital on the Critical Care Unit. Tina & Fudge have phoned the hospital but the staff won't tell them anything.

Again when I hear from Linda I'll post up again.

Hi Mandy and all

I actualy saw Nige about 11.30 am Sunday he was unconcience and had that many wires and tubes and stuff coming from him, like Mandy today ive been told he is now critical again i cant put into words how i am feeeling at the moment as hes ony got a 50/50 chance of pulling through!!!!

It goes without saying i know you will all say a little prayer for him i just hope he has enough strengh within to keep fighting

I lost my phone at the weekend so anyone trying to get me i wasnt ignoring ya , if ya need me new number PM me and il sort it

If Niges Mum & Dad will allow iam going to see him lata

Keep rooting for him gang cause if it was one of you guys Shawy would be there for YOU!

Best

Nige B

I for one will say a little prayer for Nige, been thinking about him since I heard the news on Saturday.

Nige, if you get to see him tell him I send him my love even if he is unconscious cause you never know what he may be able to hear.

Lindsay, Browney and Niges family I am thinking of you all.

I've just spoken to Linda, poor girl can hardly get her words out Nige is being flown back down to Bristol hospital tomorrow (as they cannot perform the operation he needs at Stafford) and he'll be having his operation within 24 hours. They have to repair his aorta but he has a few other problems too. Linda and his mum are going down with him.

The good news is that he is able to hear what's going on now and Linda said he responded to her holding his hand by pulling it up close to him and she has told him of all the get well wishes and phone calls.

Linda wil try and ring me from Bristol after his op to let me know the progress to pass on.

I'm sure Nige B will let us know if he has any news if he was able to visit Nige tonight

Let's just all keep our fingers and everything else crossed that he pulls through all this and gets back into those lovely shirts!!!

[I'm sure Nige B will let us know if he has any news if he was able to visit Nige tonight

Hi again

Yes! was there with my "bro" tonight i sat with him for about 30 mins , i told him ALL his dear friends from the scene are asking about him and wanting to see him back flashing those ice blue eyes and making us all laugh as he ALWAYS does

I felt sorry in my heart Niges ENTIRE close family where all there for him, just sitting waiting fpr a decision on what the hospital is gonna do next

As Mandy has said they are flying Nige down to Bristol and will operate within 24 hours to hopefuly put the damage right.

So once again the " man with the loud shirts" is in the lap of the gods

As i said before i just hope he finds enough strength from within to fight this next challenge and to quote his Sister Linda " if LOVE , KISSES & BEST WISHES where ALL that is needed Our Kid will piss thiss one" and my god she is SO right

Niges Mum told me to THANK ALL of YOU who are taking time through this thread to pass on your messages and kind thoughts for HER SON she cant believe he is SO well thougtf.

The nest 24 hours will be crucial for Nige and i promise if i get any news i will let you guys know

best

Nige B

My thoughts are with Nige and his family, im sure he'll be back to his self soon,

Any chance of getting him a CD player in the ward im sure some good tunes can only make him stronger

Nige/Mandy any news today ?

Nige/Mandy any news today ?

Hi Karen, nothing as yet at my end. Linda was travelling down to Bristol today so I'm not expecting to hear from her until either tonight or even after Nige's operation. I did watch the Air Ambulance take off from the hospital (i live right behind it) a couple of hours ago and wondered if he was in it

As soon I hear I'll post up and I think I'm speaking for Nige B too there.

Lets all just hope he's up to a second major op and all goes well.

Just had a text message from Linda to say that Nige has arrived safely in Bristol and is now being assessed to decide what and when to do it. He's in a stable condition and comfortable.

Thanks for the update Mandy

ALL THE BEST MATE...THINKING OF YOU..

Hi All

Nige had his assessment earlier this afternoon and it was discovered that the reaon the valve was leaking was because it was competely ripped open so no wonder the the poor guy was in so much distress.

As i write this (7-20 pm) Nige has been in theatre for about an hour and has at least another 5 hours to go !! Thats how long they estimate to do the repair to the torn valve.

His sister will inform me when Nige is in recovery ive told her no matter what time of nite i wanna know.

Thats about it!! Nige is now in the lap of the gods yet again!!

The bugger has found the strengh to walk around woth a ripped aortic valve, lungs full of fluid, clotting blood, a 200mph heart rate, a flight in the AIR AMBULANCE etc etc

I recon God owers it to Shawy for another chance at this wonderfull life!

God bless My Bro x

Nige B

Let us all know as soon as you hear anything, my thoughts are with him and the doctors working on him.

Thanks for keeping us up to date with all thats happening . Hopefully the worst is now over and Nige can look forward to a long and healthy future .

Another update and it's not a good one I'm afraid. Although Nige is stable he is now on dialysis as his kidneys aren't working too good.

Let's just hope and pray that someone up there loves him enough to let us keep him
